Procurement Card Overview

The Procurement Card (referred to as P-Card) is available to any staff/faculty member on campus if delegated and approved by their Approving Official. After obtaining the P-Card, it is the responsibility of the P-Card holder to ensure all policies and procedures are followed. Refer to the the CSU and CSULB Purchasing Policies and Manuals.

P-Card Purchases

Purchases may be made using the P-Card providing the item is not prohibited or restricted. For information on what can and cannot be purchased, please refer to P-Card Proces Flowchart.

Monthly Responsibility

Each month holders of the P-Card will be asked to complete a Monthly Procurement Card Purchase Report using SAM to submit to Accounts Payable. If necessary, transactions may be disputed.

Training on accessing SAM is available through the Purchasing department.

NOTE: Holders of a P-Card with a limit greater than or equal to $10,000 have an annual responsibility to complete a conflict of interest filing.
